Over £12,000 Raised For Chinese Earthquake Victims

Two money tins were placed in Scarman Building and the Teaching Centre from 10am to 4pm on the 22nd and 23rd of May - it is an unprecedented amount of money to have reached in such a short amount of time, speaking to the unparalleled generosity of University students and staff.

The University is home to over 1000 students from China and Hong Kong, making up 7% of the total student population. There are a further 1000 staff and family members also from China. The CSSA Warwick Society is the largest cultural society within the University - they sponsor, organize and support social activities.

President of CSSA Warwick, Yu Zeng, said: This is a joint effort of all the societies and departments, which most of all shows how good the Warwick staff and students are. I am very proud to be a Warwick student!

The money raised has been donated to the Red Cross Society of China and will be used to provide food and shelter to the estimated 5 million homeless victims.
